Chuck; I spoke with one of the folks who did the port of GT.M to MAC OS X two years ago and they said if there was enough interest and the status of such a port could be clarified, that they could do it again. We would love to set up a project on this and will need at least two separate organizations to be involved, one doing the port and one doing the testing. So if there are enough folks out there who would need to see this, they need to get their interest known. This is a project which can be accomplished, but we have some things to get straight;
1) Level of interest? 2) Level of involvement (actual participation, monetary, review, testing, documentation, platforms, etc)? 3) Legal status of the resulting product? Still Open Source? under what license? If we can get enough folks involved and committed, this could happen in a short time frame. ----- Original Message ----- From: "chuck5566" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <hardhats-members@lists.sourceforge.net> Sent: Monday, April 11, 2005 9:00 PM Subject: Re: [Hardhats-members] Boston wrap-up.
